Exercise 1
Step 1
1 of 7
First of all, we must carefully read the instructions to understand what we must do.
Step 2
2 of 7
In this activity, we are going to work with the pluperfect tense.

It is formed with the verb **haber** in imperfect form and **the past participle** of another verb.

This tense is used to tell about an action in the past that happened before another action in the past. In English, it can be translated as **had done**.

Step 3
3 of 7
**Past participle** is formed by adding :
– **-ado** to the stem of **-ar** verbs.

**Example**:
**Cantar**.
**Cantado**.
– **-ido** to the stem of **-er** or **-ir** verbs.

**Example**:
**Comer**.
**Comido**.

**Beber**.
**Bebido**.

Step 4
4 of 7
We also need to know that in verbs ended in **-aer**, **-eer**, **-eír**, and the verb **oir**, we have to write an accent mark on the **i** in the past participle.

**Example**:
**Leer**.
**Leído**.

Verbs ended in **-uir** do not need the written accent mark in the past participle.

Step 5

Several Spanish verbs have irregular past participles.

**Example**:

|Tú |habías |

|Nosotros |habíamos |
|Vosotros |habíais |
| Ellos / Ellas / Uds.|habían |

The present perfect has two parts, the second one is the same in all forms.

**Remember** that the object pronouns, reflexive pronouns, and negative words are placed before the first part of the conjugation.

**Example**:
**Me** había bañado temprano.
**No** había hecho el trabajo.
**No se** había vestido todavía.
